Remote desert airstrip serving Namibia's southern Orange River region.
Location
Aussenkehr, Namibia
Aussenkehr Airport (ICAO: FYAK) is a small general aviation airstrip located near the settlement of Aussenkehr in southern Namibia, close to the Orange River on the border with South Africa. It serves the local agricultural and mining community, particularly the large-scale table grape farming operations that have developed in the area.
The airstrip is primarily used for light aircraft, charter flights, and operational support for the farming estates in the Aussenkehr valley. It does not operate scheduled commercial passenger services and has no IATA code assigned.
The surrounding region is known for its arid desert landscape and is part of the Karas Region of Namibia. The Orange River's water resources enable intensive irrigation agriculture in an otherwise extremely dry environment.
